So much of our lives are spent on our smart phones these days...so why not put that time to good use? If you aren't taking advantage of the great wedding planning apps available for FREE in the app store, then you need to start today! From getting ideas to checking items off your list, there are some great apps out there to help with all of your wedding planning wants and needs!

I have created a list of my favorites from when I was planning my own wedding, as well as a few that I wish were available to me back then! Here are the top 7 best free wedding planning apps for your smartphone!

1. Ceremony

App Store Description:

Getting married? Congratulations! Say goodbye to disposable cameras and hashtags. Capture, share and preserve every photo and video taken at your wedding with Ceremony! Your guest will love using it and you'll walk away with a complete archive of your wedding day memories.

So basically, you create a new event and will receive a private Event Code, which you can then invite your guest to join by giving them the code. They join the event, then they can take photos and video directly from the app, or upload them from any other photo app of their choice.

You can share all of the photos and videos that are uploaded, or you can keep them all private.

It can also be used for non-wedding events, such as rehearsal dinner, birthday bash, graduation, vacation, etc. All of your event photos will be in one easy to use app.

No more stress in trying to find the perfect, available hashtag!

2. Wedding Planning by WeddingWire

App Store Description:

Turn your wedding vision into a reality with WeddingWire's newly redesigned app! Count down the days until your big day, find and book your perfect vendor team, stay organized with planning tools, and get advice and inspiration from couples like you.

My favorite feature of this app is the interactive wedding checklist, which you can customize to fit the structure of your wedding.

The budget tool is an excellent way to keep track of those expenses that pile up.

4. Paperless Post: Invitations and eCards

App Store Description:

Paperless Post is reimagining invitations and cards to help people connect at their most memorable life occasions. Customize beautiful online and paper invitations that reflect your personal style and manage your RSVPs from the app.

You can track your RSVPs, update your guest list and message the guests directly from the app.

5. Etsy

App Store Description:

Shop our global marketplace of handmade, vintage, and creative goods. Browse, search, or be surprised: The Etsy app gives you many ways to discover one-of-a-kind goods. Shop curated collections for special gifts, unique wedding ideas and handmade jewelry, or explore personalized recommendations for stylish jewelry, art, clothing and furniture you'll treasure forever. Join our 20 million members around the world to find inspiration, and a new favorite designer, every day.

You can create separate boards for different parts of your wedding, making organization super easy. I personally had a board for dresses, another for decorations, and another for bridesmaid dress ideas.

You can share your boards! Simply add your friends to the board, and they can see what you pinned, as well as adding pins to the board themselves. It is a great way to keep everyone in the loop on what you are looking for.

You can find me on there! You can follow my boards, which I update daily, and find great wedding ideas!
